Steph Waring’s life-changing charity visit

OHMYGOSSIP — Steph Waring’s life has changed in ways she “could have never imagined” following a charity visit to Iraqi Kurdistan.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress recently returned from the autonomous region in northern Iraq where she heard a “heart-breaking” story from Nobel Peace Prize winner Nadia Murad’s sister, who told how her brothers were murdered and the women were sold as sex slaves after their village was invaded by ISIS.
Steph – who is a goodwill ambassador of Bring Hope Humanitarian Foundation, which aims to save lives, alleviate suffering, and give refugee children hope for the future – wrote on Instagram: “I have just arrived back in the UK from Iraq Kurdistan where I spent a few days with my charity @bringhopefoundation visiting the refugee camps. This experience has opened my eyes to so much and changed me in ways I could have never imagined.. seeing first hand the devastation and poverty over there was truly heart breaking but I feel very privileged to have been allowed into to camps to help and provide the Yazidi ladies and children with much needed goods. What I have seen is their reality and has been for 6 years and nothing is going to change for them so all we can do as a charity is to provide them with everything they need, from clothes, medical supplies, sanitary protection, toys and books, football equipment and so much more. I was also able to chat with Nadia Murads family, Nadia has just won the Nobel Peace Prize .. her sister went into great detail about what happened to Nadia herself and family when ISIS invaded their village, her brothers murdered and the women were sold as sex slaves.. it was heart breaking to listen to. (sic)”
Steph – who plays Cindy Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap – is optimistic her visit has gone some way to “bring hope” to some of the people she met.
She added: “If I can take anything away from this trip it is to fully appreciate everything I have and to help anyone I can in need, this shouldn’t be anyone’s reality. I want to say a huge thank you to @7campbell and the rest of the @bringhopefoundation team for looking after me. What an experience #charity #bringhope #refugees (sic)”

Kim Woodburn hopes Coleen Nolan ‘gets back on her feet’

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Woodburn hopes Coleen Nolan “gets back on her feet”.
The Nolan Sisters singer has taken a hiatus from ‘Loose Women’ and cancelled plans for a solo tour following a backlash after she clashed with her ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ co-star – with whom she has a long-running feud – on the daytime panel show in August.
But Kim insists she wasn’t expecting the “hurtful” row between them because she went on the programme to try to resolve their differences, and despite their rivalry, she has no desire for anything bad to happen to Coleen.
She told new! magazine: “I was asked to do ‘Loose Women’ and didn’t think it would turn out like it did – very hurtful.
“I was shocked as much as anybody else that it happened.
“I was told that it was a reconciliation on Coleen’s behalf.
“I don’t know if the producers didn’t tell her or if they conned both of us to get us on.
“I don’t wish her any harm and I’m sorry she has no job on ‘Loose Women’.
“I can say, hand on heart, that I didn’t cause it and I hope, in time, she gets back on her feet.”
Coleen and Kim had been at loggerheads ever since they starred on the Channel 5 reality show last year, and fans had tuned into ‘Loose Women’ hoping to see the pair reconcile, but were left shocked when 76-year-old Kim branded Coleen “lying trash” and a “piece of filth” before storming off the set after a heated row.
When some critics then took Kim’s side and blasted Coleen on social media, she was reduced to tears during a live TV interview, and said she considered walking away from her showbiz career entirely.
She recently said: “I don’t know what I did wrong? I didn’t say anything. I said about two things. She needs help. I feel terribly sorry for her.
“I’ve never called her names. She’s called me every name under the sun. But to be called a bully … and then to have messages going, ‘Why can’t you die like your sister?’ ‘Can’t you get cancer like your sister?’
“In 50 years of doing a job I really love … there’s a campaign to get me fired. They sent me revolting things to the point where I phoned my management and said to my kids, ‘I can’t.’
“I cancelled everything last week after it. I just said, ‘I can’t do it, I don’t want to do it anymore.’ ”

Pippa Middleton welcomes baby boy

OHMYGOSSIP — Pippa Middleton has given birth to a baby boy.
The 35-year-old socialite and author and her husband James Matthews have welcomed their first child into the world and both mother and baby are doing well.
A representative for the couple said: “Everyone is delighted and mother and baby are doing well.”
The baby boy – whose name has yet to be released to the public – was born at 1.58pm on Monday October 15, weighing 8lb and 9oz. The baby arrived at the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital, the same place where her sister Duchess Catherine gave birth to her three children.
Pippa sparked speculation she was due to give birth any time soon when she was spotted heading into the Lindo Wing on Monday (15.10.18).
Pippa confirmed she was expecting her first child back in June.
She revealed: “I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness. That meant I was able to carry on as normal. When I learned the happy news that I was pregnant I realised I needed to adjust my 4 to 5-day-a-week routine. I’ve noticed my body change but through exercise I feel it’s being strengthened. I’m fanatical about sport and have looked at loads of books and websites on exercise during pregnancy but have been disappointed by the limited technical information what you can and can’t do.
“This being my first pregnancy, I had so many questions I felt were still unanswered. I wanted to know things like, would I strain if I served in tennis, are strokes of swimming safe, can I still do a normal yoga class if I avoided certain positions? Could I still work my abs? I’ve noticed my body change and weight increase, but through effective exercise and sports I feel that it’s been strengthened to support a healthy pregnancy, birth and recovery … And ensure that post-baby, my old favourite jeans will still fit eventually!”

Kylie Jenner’s floral present

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner was showered with flowers by Travis Scott.
The ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star gushed over the sweet gift from her boyfriend – with whom she shares daughter Stormi – and shared a picture of the bouquets with her Instagram followers.
Alongside a heart eyes emoji, she wrote: “just because flowers are the best kind … thank u hubby (sic)”
Meanwhile, Kylie previously confessed she wants another child but is “definitely not ready” at the moment.
She said: “I want another baby, but when is the question, and I’m definitely not ready right this second. When I do, I would love to share more of that with you guys … I haven’t found anything [name-wise] I love love, but I definitely want another girl, hopefully. And I want her to have a feminine name.”
Kylie loves how Travis connects with their baby girl and finds it “cute” to watch the two interact together.
She shared: “They have this crazy connection and she’s definitely a daddy’s girl. It’s cute to watch. When dad’s around, I’m not even there. It’s like she doesn’t see me, but it’s cool.”
And Kylie recently admitted her daughter has made her “love herself more”.
She said: “I don’t even think anyone commented on my lips. We all have insecurities, right? Nobody’s perfect, and that’s my thing. I feel like having a daughter, and thinking about beauty in the future, has definitely changed me, and I feel like it has made me love myself more and accept everything about me. Even my ears, I always felt like they stuck out too far, and she [Stormi] has the same ears as me and so now I love my ears.”

Joe Jonas doesn’t want Sophie Turner to tell him any ‘Game of Thrones’ spoilers

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Jonas doesn’t want Sophie Turner to tell him any ‘Game of Thrones’ spoilers.
The 29-year-old musician is engaged to the actress – who has starred as Sansa Stark in the HBO fantasy series since it first aired in 2011 – but has told her not to tell him anything about the show’s eighth and final season, which will air in 2019, because he’s a “big fan” and would be disappointed if he knew what was going to happen.
He said: “I can’t wait for it to come back and I don’t want to know any spoilers. Sophie won’t tell me and she knows if she told me I would be so heartbroken because I’m such a big fan of the show. I’d be p***ed.”
With Joe’s connections to one of the show’s lead stars, some fans had speculated he could follow in the footsteps of fellow singer Ed Sheeran and land a small cameo in the upcoming season, but the ‘Cake By The Ocean’ hitmaker has insisted that he isn’t involved.
He added to Variety magazine: “I would have done it in a heartbeat, but unfortunately, it’s not going to happen. That would have been amazing. I would have loved it.”
This isn’t the first time Joe has spoken about not getting spoilers from Sophie, as he previously said he’s relieved his fiancée won’t spoil things for him, because he’s a “big nerd” when it comes to the show.
He said: “I wish I could say anything but the truth is, she doesn’t give me spoilers.
“So I kind of respect it because I’m a fan of the show and I’m a big nerd at heart, so if I was told how things were gonna turn out, I probably would have been disappointed because we have to wait so long for the next season.”
‘Game of Thrones’ is set to air its final season in early 2019.

Gigi Hadid “wishes” she felt “empowered and excited” by being naked

OHMYGOSSIP — Gigi Hadid “wishes” she felt “empowered and excited” by being naked.
The 23-year-old model – who once appeared completely naked in a 2015 campaign for Stuart Weitzman – has admitted she doesn’t feel comfortable with modelling in the nude, and wishes she had the confidence some other models have to strut her stuff wearing nothing at all.
She said: “Some people are empowered and excited to be naked and that is amazing. And I wish I was one of those people and I am not one of those people. And I’ve accepted that about myself and that is okay.”
The blonde beauty also spoke about the modelling industry in relation to #MeToo, and said that sometimes she will feel more willing to do things during one shoot than she does in another, and insists photographers need to learn that feeling differently from shoot to shoot is “okay”.
Speaking during a panel hosted by Vogue runway director Nicole Phelps, she said: “There are times where I feel like I am excited about a photographer or a creative situation where I will do this or will do that. But there’s also times where I can be – even though I am so excited for everyone and feel so happy with their empowerment being naked themselves – it’s okay that I feel differently.”
Meanwhile, fellow model Ashley Graham also appeared on the panel, and said that she believes models have been treated better since the #MeToo movement.
She said: “A lot has changed and I think that people are much more mindful of where you’re changing, if you’re naked on set that everything is very closed off and that you feel comfortable.”
However, the curvy beauty still finds some people who are “insensitive” about the movement.
She added: “I’ve had people on set try to brush my hair and then say, ‘Oh I don’t want to #MeToo you.’ First of all that is so insensitive, it’s awkward. Also you don’t know the person you’re brushing their hair what they’ve been through and their experiences.”

Tyrese Gibson has shared the first images of his newborn daughter

OHMYGOSSIP — Tyrese Gibson has shared the first images of his newborn daughter.
The 39-year-old singer-and-actor’s wife Samantha gave birth to their first child together, daughter Soraya, on October 1, and on Wednesday (17.10.18) Tyrese took to Instagram to share two video clips of their newborn tot, marking the first time she has been seen by the public.
Posting the first video – which was made up of professionally shot photos taken by photographer Jessica Limon – on social media, Tyrese wrote: “Dear Loved ones,
“We hesitated to post our angel, and after embracing her love and joy for the last 2 weeks we decided to share our answered prayer. We’re convinced that “God must have spent a little more time on her”
“Beautiful photography by @jessicalimonphotography #BigSisterShaylaso proud! (sic)”
The second video – which seemed to be the same video as the earlier post – was captioned: “Princess Soraya Lee Gibson our blessed angel (sic)”
The ‘Fast and Furious’ star – who also has 11-year-old daughter Shayla from his previous marriage to Norma Gibson from 2007 to 2009 – took to Instagram earlier this month to share the news of his tot’s birth, when he posted a picture of her footprints.
He captioned the sweet image: “Father God we love you for delivering on your promise princess Soraya Lee Gibson is here…… 8 pounds 6 Oz our lives just changed forever……. #PrincessGibson #ShaylasLittleSister #SamanthaGibsonGreatestMotherOfAllTime (sic)”
Tyrese then revealed Samantha was in labor for 30 hours, and he praised her for being strong during the birth.
He added: “my wife is the real champion 30 hours of labor I witnessed first hand the strength of a woman….. Thank you Jesus we are so humbled by your grace and love and favor…. #Amen (sic)”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is in no rush to marry Jason Statham

OHMYGOSSIP — Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is in no rush to marry Jason Statham.
The 31-year-old actress has been in a relationship with actor Jason – with whom she has 16-month-old son Jack – since 2010, and engaged since 2016, but despite their long engagement, she says they feel no real rush to tie the knot because they’re “so happy” with the way things are.
She said: “I think the time will come. We’ve been so focused on or work for long and Jack came a long, we definitely talk about it, we’re looking forward to that time, it’s also not a huge priority for us, we’re so happy.”
And Rosie thinks she’ll wait until her son is slightly older before she walks down the aisle to marry the 51-year-old ‘Mechanic’ actor, because she wants their tot to be “involved in the wedding”.
She added to Extra: “I think it will be fun to do it when they baby’s grown up a bit and he can be involved in the wedding.”
Despite claiming they’re in no hurry to marry, it was reported in August this year that the couple were planning on tying the knot before the end of this year, with invitations set to be sent that same month.
Reports suggested the wedding would take place in December, before the pair threw a huge celebration of their marriage on New Year’s Eve (31.12.18).
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty recently spoke of how “special” it has been to take time off work to be with Jack and the ‘Meg’ star.
She said: “I took a bit of time off and had my baby.
“I tried to take the time at home to enjoy those first special months with my family.
“I have a wonderful personal life with lots of love and fun.”

Elle King has reconnected with her father Rob Schneider, after a complicated past

OHMYGOSSIP — Elle King has reconnected with her father Rob Schneider, after a complicated past.
The 29-year-old singer had a strained relationship with her 54-year-old comedian father in the past after he spent much of her childhood working, but following a difficult year for the singer – in which she ended her “destructive” marriage and struggled with substance abuse, depression and PTSD – she has now reconnected with her dad.
She said: “My whole childhood, my dad was a workaholic. [but] now the relationship I have with my father is what I always wanted.”
Elle – whose mother is model London King – admits both she and her father have “grown up a lot” since they last spoke, and since he welcomed two new daughters, Miranda, five, and Madeline, two, the ‘Exes and Ohs’ hitmaker has said she’s determined to be a good big sister.
She added: “We both have grown up a lot. And you realise what’s important. Him having children – I wanted my sisters to have good memories of me from their childhood when they grew. Family really is so important. So through that, me just kind of showing up and trying to be good for them, really made it easy because there were no bad motives. When it’s about the kids, the bulls**t kind of goes away. I love him.”
And now, the blonde beauty credits Rob with being her “biggest supporter”.
Speaking to People magazine, she said: “Honestly, he’s probably my biggest supporter. Like, every other day I’ll get texts in all caps of like, ‘Your record’s gonna change the world! I can’t wait for your fans to hear what you’ve made! I love you! I’m so proud of you!’ And that’s a beautiful, wonderful thing.”
Recently, Elle opened up about her marriage to Andrew Ferguson – who she married in February 2016 after a whirlwind romance before separating in May 2017 – as she said the relationship put her in the “lowest point of her life”.
She said: “I was in a destructive marriage; I was at the lowest point in my life. … I was not well. I couldn’t look people in the eyes. I literally couldn’t leave my house for weeks at a time.
“I was partying so hard to numb emotions that I couldn’t handle at the time. I realised it was just prolonging the inevitable of dealing with them.
“And what you have to do, unfortunately, is just feel them, and that sucks, I thought that by doing drugs it would buy me time to feeling better.
“And when that wasn’t working, I just realised I was in this other cycle, and that I was creating it myself. And I realised I needed to cut all the darkness out of my life.”

Roseanne Barr has slammed the decision to kill her ‘Roseanne’ character off via an opioid overdose as “unnecessary, grim, and morbid”

OHMYGOSSIP — Roseanne Barr has slammed the decision to kill her ‘Roseanne’ character off via an opioid overdose as “unnecessary, grim, and morbid”.
The 65-year-old disgraced actress had her ABC sitcom cancelled earlier this year after she posted a racist tweet about a former White House adviser, and when the television network chose to create a spin-off show entitled ‘The Conners’ – which involves all the ‘Roseanne’ cast except Barr herself – they decided to have Roseanne’s eponymous character killed off.
‘The Conners’ premiered on ABC on Tuesday (16.10.18), and in response, Roseanne enlisted the help of her friend and adviser, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, to write a carefully worded statement in which she slammed ABC’s decision to opt for a “morbid” death.
She said: “While we wish the very best for the cast and production crew of ‘The Conners’, all of whom are deeply dedicated to their craft and were Roseanne’s cherished colleagues, we regret that ABC chose to cancel ‘Roseanne’ by killing off the Roseanne Conner character. That it was done through an opioid overdose lent an unnecessary grim and morbid dimension to an otherwise happy family show.”
Roseanne went on to state that the original ‘Roseanne’ sitcom was known for “promoting love and respect”, and said that by cancelling the show in favour of ‘The Conners’, ABC were showing a “refusal to forgive”.
She continued: “This was a choice the network did not have to make. ‘Roseanne’ was the only show on television that directly addressed the deep divisions threatening the very fabric of our society. Specifically, the show promoted the message that love and respect for one another’s personhood should transcend differences in background and ideological discord. The show brought together characters of different political persuasions and ethnic backgrounds in one, unified family, a rarity in modern American entertainment. Above all else, the show celebrated a strong, matriarchal woman in a leading role, something we need more of in our country.
“The cancellation of ‘Roseanne’ is an opportunity squandered due in equal parts to fear, hubris, and a refusal to forgive.”
Previously, Roseanne had hit out at the decision to kill off her character, as she claimed it was “cruelly insulting” to the fans of the original program.
She said: “Oh ya, they killed her. They have her die of an opioid overdose.
“There’s nothing I can do about it. It’s done. It’s over. [But it] so cruelly insults the people who loved that family in that show.”

Model Gigi Hadid, who struggles with Hashimoto’s disease, still faces “mean” comments about her weight

OHMYGOSSIP — Gigi Hadid still faces “mean” comments about her weight.
The 23-year-old model struggles with Hashimoto’s disease – an autoimmune disorder which can cause a lack of thyroid hormones, which in turn can cause weight loss – and has said that she’s tired of online trolls attacking her for her weight, because she also wishes she was curvier.
Speaking during a panel held by Vogue runway director Nicole Phelps, she said: “I loved my body when I was curvier. Then as I lost [the weight], people were still mean. Yeah, I know I’m skinny. I’m looking in the mirror. I’m trying to eat burgers and do squats. I want an ass too. I get it. I got it. Thank you!”
This isn’t the first time the blonde beauty has spoken about her weight struggles either, as earlier this year she told Blake Lively that she would love to be back in the body she had “a few years ago”, but was determined to fight for body acceptance.
She said at the time: “If I could choose, I would have my ass back and I would have the t**s I had a few years ago. But, honestly, we can’t look back with regret. I loved my body then, and I love my body now. It’s just about everyone accepting their body as it matures and knowing that it’s not always going to look the same and you can love yourself in all different sizes.”
And it isn’t just Gigi who would love a curvier figure, as her sister Bella, 21, spoke in 2016 about wanting to be able to keep her curves after commenting on how much her weight “fluctuates”.
She said: “My weight fluctuates so much. I really didn’t mean to [lose weight]. Like I want boobs. I want my ass back. But it’s not my fault. My weight fluctuates and so does everybody’s and I think that if people are gonna judge, that’s the worst you can possibly do because everybody is different.”

Channing Tatum is “having fun getting to know” his new beau Jessie JJ

OHMYGOSSIP — Channing Tatum is “having fun getting to know” his new beau Jessie J.
The 38-year-old actor was first rumoured to be dating the singer last week following his split from estranged wife Jenna Dewan – with whom he has five-year-old daughter Everly – earlier this year, and whilst the romance is still in its “early” stages, the pair are said to be enjoying their time together.
An insider told People magazine: “He works around the clock, loves being a dad and has a decent relationship with Jenna. Jessie J is also dedicated to her career and has a real sense of humour. She likes to have a good time. It is an exciting time for both of them. He loves music, likes to dance and loves the whole performing aspect of his own career.
“It’s a new thing for them and too early to see if it will go anywhere … But for now they are having fun and getting to know each other.”
The news comes after it was previously reported the ‘Magic Mike’ star already “really likes” 30-year-old Jessie.
Another insider said: “Channing and Jessie’s relationship is very new. They truly just hit it off.
“Because it’s only been six months since Channing and Jenna separated, this is all very new. Channing really likes Jessie.”
And there’s no animosity between Channing and Jenna either, as the 37-year-old actress as also recently started seeing other people.
The source added: “Channing and Jenna truly planned to be together forever so dating other people is a huge step for both of them.
“Even announcing their split was difficult because their fan base loved them as a couple.”
Channing and Jenna married in 2009 after meeting on the set of 2006 dance movie ‘Step Up’, and announced their decision to “lovingly separate” in April this year.
In a statement on social media at the time, they said: “We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple.
“We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.
“There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision – just two best friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible.
“We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly.
“We won’t be commenting beyond this, and we thank you all in advance for respecting our family’s privacy. Sending lots of love to everyone, Chan&Jenna (sic)”

Lena Dunham has undergone surgery to have her ovary removed

OHMYGOSSIP — Lena Dunham has undergone surgery to have her ovary removed.
The ‘Girls’ actress has been in pain and struggling to “walk and pee” because her reproductive organ was encased in scar tissue and pressing on her nerves, so she had a two-hour procedure to take it out on Tuesday (16.10.18).
She took to her Instagram account to share a photo of herself in hospital and wrote: “Yesterday I had a two hour surgery to remove my left ovary, which was encased in scar tissue & fibrosis, attached to my bowel and pressing on nerves that made it kinda hard to walk/pee/vamp. Over the last month it got worse and worse until I was simply a burrito shaped like a human.
“I spent 9 hours in the post op recovery area with v low blood pressure that nurses were diligently monitoring.(sic)”
Lena’s operation comes almost a year after the 35-year-old actress underwent a hysterectomy due to endometriosis – a medical condition which causes the layer of tissue that normally covers the inside of the uterus to grow outside of it – and she admitted her ongoing problems have taught her a “big lesson” about how getting back to full health isn’t simple.
She continued: “A lot of people commented on my last post about being too sick to finish promoting my show [‘Camping’] by saying they thought my hysterectomy would have fixed it (so did I). That I should get acupuncture and take supplements (I do). That I should see a therapist because it’s clearly psychological (year 25, y’all. These are the fruits!)
“But a big lesson I’ve learned in all this is that health, like most things, isn’t linear- things improve and things falter and you start living off only cranberry juice from a sippy cup/sleeping on a glorified heating pad but you’re also happier than you’ve been in years.”
While Lena is “lucky” to have health insurance and the money to afford treatment it doesn’t cover, she knows other women aren’t in the same position and has vowed to “advocate” for those who aren’t as well off.
She concluded: “I feel blessed creatively and tickled by my new and improved bellybutton and so so so lucky to have health insurance as well as money for care that is off my plan.
“But I’m simultaneously shocked by what my body is and isn’t doing for me and red with rage that access to medical care is a privilege and not a right in this country and that women have to work extra hard just to prove what we already know about our own bodies and what we need to be well. It’s humiliating.
“My health not being a given has paid spiritual dividends I could never have predicted and it’s opened me up in wild ways and it’s given me a mission: to advocate for those of us who live at the cross section of physical and physic pain, to remind women that our stories don’t have to look one way, our pain is our gain and oh s**t scars and mesh ‘panties’ are the f***ing jam. Join me, won’t you?(sic)”

Sean Bean has signed up for ‘Hitman 2’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sean Bean has signed up for ‘Hitman 2’.
The 59-year-old actor will portray a former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin, Mark Faba, who becomes notorious for faking his own death in the video game.
He said: “I’m thrilled to be a part of the upcoming ‘Hitman 2’ video game.
“It’s always exciting to take on a new role, and I look forward to seeing my character in action when the Elusive Target mission launches.”
In the exclusive live-action trailer for the first Elusive Target mission, The Undying, fans can see Faba speaking to his therapist and he begins to hint at his unique approach to contract killing.
While the session ends badly for the clinician, the video closes with a familiar face emerging, the masterful Agent 47.
Players of the highly-anticipated video game will then have to stop Faba and attempt to assassinate him before he can complete a contract at the Global Innovation Race event in Miami.
Hakan Abrak, studio head at IO Interactive, said: “We are very proud to partner with the talented Sean Bean on the first Elusive Target mission in ‘Hitman 2’.

‘Hitman 2’ has been revamped to feature Sniper Assassin mode as a co-op experience and several brand new sandbox locations whilst offering players the freedom to plan their assassinations using a variety of disguises and weapons.
The first Elusive Target mission is scheduled to be released on November 20th, one week after ‘Hitman 2’ launches on November 13th for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will run for 10 days.

‘Hollyoaks’ actor Nick Pickard has lost sense of taste

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Pickard has lost his sense of taste.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actor used to be prominent in the kitchen – like his alter-ego Tony Hutchinson – but he was forced to ditch cooking in favour of doing DIY in his spare time, because he can no longer differentiate between various foodstuffs after an operation.
He said: “I loved cooking as much as Tony does, but a few years ago I had an operation and lost my sense of taste.”
But Nick’s love of home improvement is a bonus for the cast of the Channel 4 soap.
He said: “I’m into my DIY now, I built all Jess Fox’s outdoor decking for her the other week.”
While Nick has thrown himself into building and fixing things of late, he wasn’t so keen to literally chuck himself out of a plane for a ‘Hollyoaks’ stunt – and still remembers being terrified.
He said: “Years ago, Tony did a parachute jump – and it’s the only time in my life that I’ve thought, ‘I genuinely don’t know if I can do this.’ The only thing that made me jump out of the plane was the thought of all the grief I’d get from the crew for chickening out.”
While he has been on the soap since the show’s first-ever episode in October 1995, Nick still gets “a buzz” when he goes into work in the mornings.
He added to Inside Soap magazine: “Myself and Alex [Fletcher] were shooting a scene today and she said to me, ‘Your concentration levels are terrible.’ But you know, I still get a buzz when I come into work. Even now, I appreciate how lucky I am.”
